Description
It would be nice to have a code formatter option to add a [trailing comma](https://dev.to/pfilaretov42/tiny-trailing-commas-in-java-251h) to the last element of multi-line declarations like enums or arrays.
The PDT already have such an option: [521884](https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=521884). Unfortunately, the git links in Bugzilla does not work anymore.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start in the Java code formatter area and trace how formatting options are defined and applied to multi-line declarations such as enums and arrays. Compare the requested behavior with PDT option 521884, then verify that the formatter can add a trailing comma only where the new option is enabled.
